    It looks like there might be a slight glitch around the 01:34 mark in the video, we've done our best to trim it out, but if the jump looks a bit sudden, then that is why. Jack is sulking as it means his lottery case wasn't fully heard out haha Thank you for watching and pointing it out, this video took 5 attempts to upload, it must have not wanted to be seen!! Jack and Gabby xxx

    Hello lovely people, as a momma myself just thought I'd add my 2 cents to try and help life go easier. :) If it were me going through this stage again (crawling to walking), I would just make the whole boat as baby friendly as possible. So work on getting everything that can be grabbed go higher, sharp corners padded, tricky things like the stove gated off, that kind of thing. We had what we called (affectionately) the baby cage for a bit but it really didn't last long. So maybe picture him running through the boat and start planning for that. It'll happen before you know it! And there's your unsolicited advice for today. :) Thank you for your beautiful videos. I originally found you on jits podcast and am glad I did!
